So, my grandpa died 9 years ago, but I still feel a little upset about it. I still have uncontrollable thoughts about missing him. I feel angry at him for leaving me, even though I know that it wasn't his choice. I avoid thinking about him because it just makes me upset. I was in the room and watching when he dies, so I don't think that I'll ever forget the moment. I avoid looking at pictures of him when possible. Most of the memories I have of him are too painful to think about. I don't know if this is PTSD but I thought I would post it here.

It's probably more like prolonged grief, which is a DSM diagnosis for grief that lasts more than a certain time. It would be good to see a T who can help you move through your feelings of grief and get "unstuck".

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
